Japan has made the cat cafe popular. Recently, owl cafes have become popular. While I’ve never been to an cat cafe before, I’ve been to the owl cafe in Fukuoka three times (in my defense, I was bring people there). If you’re in Fukuoka, this is definitely a place you should visit (unless Singapore suddenly… Read More Owl Cafe Fukuoka (Review)
So yesterday, I went to Rainbow Plaza at Ims to study. On the way home, I noticed that Parm was holding an ice-cream making promotion on the first flow of Ims. Actually, it was just dipping their ice-cream in chocolate. But still! Free ice-cream! So I went and queued up! This photo was taken after… Read More Parm Chocolate Ice-cream Making Experience
I have quite a few foibles (“quirks” if we’re being charitable). One of them is the ability to digress from any given subject matter. It’s really strange, but I’ve found myself talking to people about subjects that weren’t even close to the original topic. But anyway, that is not the foible (I love that word.… Read More One foible to change
Up until yesterday, Huis Ten Bosch had a rose festival (oops, I’m not exactly on time am I?). Since I have a one-year pass (and since my cousin was in town), we went there for a day. Unfortunately, on the day we went, it was raining (and fairly windy). It rained the whole day )O.O(… Read More Huis Ten Bosch – Rose Festival (and other stuff)
I remembering hearing about this book when it first came out, although I can’t remember if the reaction towards this book was positive or negative. So, when I saw it at Rainbow Plaza, I was really excited to read it and find out what it was like. A Geek in Japan is a basic introduction… Read More Book Review: A Geek in Japan by Hector Garcia
Last week, I saw a poster about 船乗り込み (Funanorikomi) and decided to go and take a look before my Bahasa Indonesia class today. It’s to start the June Kabuki show, so in a way, it’s a sort of preparation for the Kabuki show I’ll be seeing on June 22. The flyer I didn’t really expect many… Read More 船乗り込み (Funanorikomi)
Most MEXT scholars aim for Todai and Handai. For certain disciplines, like my own Economics/Business Administration, there’s also Hitotsubashi University. However, in my quest to get more of my kouhai’s to come over to Kyudai, I’ll be introducing certain aspects of Kyudai that are awesome. For Economics/Business Administration students, or really, anyone with an interest… Read More Introducing QREC
Gosh golly gosh, the title makes me sound rich. “Weekend visit” sounds like I flew back on a whim when I actually went back because of health reasons. Singapore <3 Tip: If you normally can’t afford SIA because it’s too expensive, you may find it cheaper to buy the ticket last minute. It was about… Read More Singapore Weekend Visit
Last year, I went to watch the fireworks at Huis Ten Bosch during Dontaku. This year, I managed to resist the siren call of Huis Ten Bosch and actually go and see the festival (for a little while anyway). Dontaku, as far as I know, is basically a series of parades. It takes place at… Read More Golden Week 2014 #2: Dontaku
This year, I didn’t do much for Golden Week. I had a friend come over, but other than that, I stayed at home and did baito (part time work). When my friend did come though, we went to the owl cafe! I really love that cafe, the owls are so adorable. The owl and I The owls… Read More Golden Week 2014 #1: Owl Cafe and Nokonoshima
